Hi all, The problem is solved. While digging around I noticed there was an empty mydisk directory under /media even when none of the disks with that volume label were attached to the system. It must have been an artefact left over from some previous failure of the old disk. After removing that directory all is back to normal again.
Ah, well. Should have known to check there first. It's always the simple solutions that get overlooked... Thanks to those that tried to help!
